Who we are

As Episcopalians, our identity is rooted first and foremost in the birth, ministry, teachings, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, into who's life we are baptized. Our Christian way is shaped by Scripture, Tradition, and Reason. Our tradition is has its origins in the history, community, and liturgy of the Church of England. Those historic ties and current relationships shape our particular expression of our Christian faith. In the Episcopal Church, history, connection, and relationship matter deeply.

Consisting of over 80 million people worldwide, the Anglican Communion is led by the Archbishop of Canterbury. Here in the US, the Anglican Church is known as The Episcopal Church, the name of the American branch of the Church was changed after the American Revolutionary War to reflect the new political relationship. Our Presiding Bishop, The Rt. Rev. Michael Bruce Curry, is chief pastor to the 1.2 million members of the Episcopal Church consisting of 109 dioceses in 17 different countries. 

The Diocese of Georgia, of which Christ Church is a part, covers most of central, south and coastal Georgia. The chief pastor of the Diocese of Georgia is the Rt. Rev. Frank Logue, 11th Bishop of Georgia. The diocese includes 70 parishes and missions in the southern half of the state, from Augusta to Bainbridge.

Christ Church, Dublin is a community of baptized people striving to follow the Way of Jesus as handed down through our Anglican tradition. Many among us were raised in different traditions, and so we welcome those who are seeking a deeper connection with God. We welcome your questions, and we look forward to getting to know you, your story, and how your story fits with the larger story of Christ's work in the world.

We believe in following the teachings of Jesus Christ, whose life, death and resurrection saved the world.

We have a legacy of inclusion, aspiring to tell and exemplify God’s love for every human being; women and men serve as bishops, priests, and deacons in our church. Laypeople and clergy cooperate as leaders at all levels of our church. Leadership is a gift from God and can be expressed by all people in our church, regardless of gender, sexual identity, or orientation.

We believe that God loves us all – no exceptions.
